Page 109 of My Tempting Woman

Stephen was terrified to witness the scene as era was coughing hard, trying to catch her normal breathing back

“Steve, call the doctor now; wait, we should take her to the hospital.”

Steve nodded, and Stephen also started rubbing her back.

He asked his mom, “How the hell did this happen?

Nothing. She was getting late for her classes, and in a hurry, she started gulping the food

Stephen glared at Eva, who was already in tears from constant coughing. Stephen commented little as he was more scared of her condition, but to his relief soon Eva got her normal breathing back.

“Steve I am fine now and I don’t need a doctor.

Steve nodded at her, and both brothers settled for breakfast. Stephen stated to Eva in his impersonal voice

“There is no need to eat in such a hurry. Just have your breakfast peacefully. Ok “

Eva gave a nod at him and stuck to the juice

While she was having her juice, Rose asked, “So dear, what are you wearing tonight? We can go shopping."

William shook his head at the passion of shopping with his wife, whereas Eva gave a smile at rose

“No need for that, as I have many new dresses that I never have time to wear. But I will need your help in choosing one."

“ok ‘

“What special tonight?” Stephen inquired as he and Steve were oblivious to this party invite

Before Eva could reply, rose answered

“It’s Eva’s friend Jacey’s birthday party today. Remember the girl who attended Eva’s birthday party? Right, the same girl.”

“Where is the party?”

“At her place, she shifted to a new house recently. “

“She is not going to any party, and that’s final.” “

Stephen declared in a blasting voice. Others got startled by his reaction, whereas Eva was terrified by his outburst. Tears welled up in her eyes. She left the breakfast table and excused herself for her classes.

William ordered Steve, “You drop her, and you young man, meet me in the study, as I must have a few words with you."

Stephen just glared at his dad, as anyway he would not change his decision.

Steve rushed towards the parking lot of their house, where he found Eva settling in the car. Steve rushed to the other side and entered the car.

He noticed tears flowing from her eyes. He was anxious about Stephen for making Eva upset about such a silly thing. Steve tried to talk to Eva, but he didn’t want to create a scene in front of the driver, so he told the driver to stop the car on the side and leave them alone for some time and soon followed as instructed

‘Eva, dear, listen to me. Stephen is just scared for your safety. He is always overprotective of his family and friends.”

Eva stated while sobbing, “My dad never stopped me from doing anything. He was the one who used to send me on an outing with my friends., as I am a little introverted type of person. But look at him. He scolded me like this. I already took permission from your dad, and who is he to shout at me like this?

Steve was the first time noticing Eva in so much anger he understood Stephen was messed up big this time. But for now it was important to handle Eva and cheer her up, so he tried to console her

“Correct, you are right; I support you in this. He cannot run his dictatorship by ordering us like this: “

Eva wiped her tears and glared at Steve
